Edit this plugin

Some coding just doesn't justify setting up an entire java build environment. Some coding requires immediate feedback. Using the Beanshell view, any user can now access the power of the P4 to query and manipulate ontologies or even interact with the UI.

Most of P4 can be accessed from the OWLEditorKit or OWLModelManager (variables eKit and mngr respectively).

For more information see the Beanshell Website

Examples

Here are some code examples you could try

Creating a new class in the current ontology

 ont = mngr.getActiveOntology();
 fac = mngr.getOWLEntityFactory();
 changes = fac.createOWLClass("myNewClass", ont.getURI());
 mngr.applyChanges(changes.getOntologyChanges());

Check if the current ontology is valid OWL DL

 import  org.semanticweb.owl.profiles.*;
 dlProfile = new OWLDLProfile();
 ont = mngr.getActiveOntology();
 dlProfile.checkOntology(ont, mngr.getOWLOntologyManager());
 report = dlProfile.checkOntology(ont, mngr.getOWLOntologyManager());
 print(report.isInProfile());

 nonDLConstructs = report.getDisallowedConstructs();
 for (c : nonDLConstructs) {
 print(c);
 }

Pick a class to use in a script

 uiHelper = new UIHelper(eKit);
 c = uiHelper.pickOWLClass();
 print(c);

Use a reasoner

First make sure a reasoner has been selected and the ontology is classified.

 import org.semanticweb.owl.inference.*;
 r = mngr.getReasoner();
 c = // get your class here - for example as above
 subs = OWLReasonerAdapter.flattenSetOfSets(r.getSubClasses(c));
 print(subs);

Note the use of OWLReasonerAdapter as the reasoners return equivalence sets.
